Thread: Jaffle irons

I'd say you cant beat Tom Piper braised steak and onions between 2 bits of bread in a jaffle iron - jaffle meat pie.

That's a bloody long lunch break!

I like jaffles.

Bundalene is right about braised steak and onions.

Man, you really do learn something new every day, don't you?!

I'd never heard of a "jaffle" before, so I Googled it. I see it on some US retail sites such as Amazon.com. I'm familiar with them, but never used one. Never knew what we called them here either! This is apparently what they called a "pie iron." They come in round or square.

So is this what a jaffle looks like?




Got any tips on how they're used? This sounds like another cool thing to get the Scout Troop turned on to!

Thats not a jaffle iron, its a pie iron, jaffle irons are square because bread is square....

heres some posts for ya...

this post gives you all you need to know about what to put in a jaffle
This post shows you with pictures and all how to make what I consider to be the best jaffle on the planet
This post well the end of it briefly mentions jaffles and how to weaponise them.

We used to have a 'jaffle' iron that was round! it was a hand me down from from Steve's grannie. Didn't look at all like the one in the post above. Was round yes, but had the concentric indents as per the square one.
Personally I much prefer round jaffles as they sit in the arc between thumb and forefinger superbly, whilst being devoured.
I will have to check out the website in the above post, as I miss ours terribly.

maybe, but you get more into a square jaffle.

we used to have them every day for smoko too in winter (electric - no camp fires in the site shed)

they consisted of:-

1)bacon, scrabbled eggs (pre cooked @ home) cheese and baked beans

2)Stagg chilli w cheese

3)banana and cheese

ps tried to crack the egg and although have had success with the campfire iron the electric just mad a mess

Round or square, both are available:



And thanks for the links! I'll have to pick up a jaffle iron and practice a bit with it and bring it out to the next Scout camp! Not sure I'd need to use one for a weapon though, as my .45 tucks neatly under my shirt (legally, even!)

Tell me though, what are the dimensions of those? I thought they were too big to fit a slice of bread in as I see in the pictures, with the crust poking out the sides.



Or is that more than one slice?

As memory serves, the ones I've seen in the stores around here are perhaps 9 inches square....? Maybe smaller, I guess. I'll have to look again more closely this time.
